Holding the Redmi 4A makes us immediately reminiscent of the Xiaomi Mi 4i. Both devices are compact 5-inchers, fitting well in the hand. Both phones are also made out of plastic, although the metallic finish on the Redmi 4A is of a high quality and offers a solid feel.Along with the screen, you’ll find the earpiece, a couple of sensors above and a row of capacitive Android navigation keys below, which unfortunately aren’t backlit.
